Maple Leafs unveil sweaters for stadium series game vs. Capitals

The Toronto Maple Leafs have unveiled the sweaters they will wear during the upcoming Stadium Series outdoor game against the Washington Capitals. https://twitter.com/MapleLeafs/status/962341176077676544The game will be played at the Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium and the Maple Leafs used the Royal Canadian Navy as inspiration for their uniform design, according to the team.

The Toronto Maple Leafs traded forward Nikita Soshnikov to the St. Louis Blues in exchange for a fourth-round pick in the 2019 NHL Draft, the teams announced Thursday.

Soshnikov has failed to register a point in the three games he has played with the Maple Leafs this season. The Russian winger has seven goals and 10 assists in 19 games with the AHL’s Toronto Marlies.

The 24-year-old is currently on injured reserve but the Blues stated in a press release that once he is clear by his new team’s medical staff and attains his visa he will report to the NHL club.

With Soshnikov, a pending restricted free agent, set to return from IR the Maple Leafs were in a bind as activating Soshnikov would’ve put the team over the 23-man roster limit. The team elected to trade Soshnikov instead of demoting a player like Kasperi Kapanen, who has earned what seems like a permanent spot on the team based on his recent strong play.

Maple Leafs telling teams James van Riemsdyk not available

At least two teams that inquired about Toronto Maple Leafs winger James van Riemsdyk were told that he’s not available, according to Sportsnet’s Chris Johnston. However, despite that, the impending free agent has yet to receive any contract extension offer from the Leafs.“At this point there are no real serious negotiations on that front,” Johnston said during Saturday’s Headlines segment on Hockey Night in Canada, adding that the same goes for fellow Toronto UFAs Tyler Bozak and Leo Komarov.
